Research and Development of Diamond Based Beam Monitoring and Diagnostics Systems at the S-DALINAC* — •Adrian Rost¹, Tetyana Galatyuk^1,2, and Jerzy Pietraszko² — ¹Institut für Kernphysik, Technische Universität Darmstadt, Germany — ²GSI Helmholtzzentrum für Schwerinonenforschung, Darmstadt, Germany

For future experiments with the HADES and CBM detectors at FAIR in Darmstadt, a radiation hard and fast beam detector is required. The beam detector has to perform precise T0 measurements (σ_T0 < 50 ps) and should also offer beam monitoring capabilities. These tasks can be fulfilled by utilizing single-crystal Chemical Vapor Deposition (scCVD) diamond based detectors. For research and development of such detectors, a test set-up will be installed at the Superconducting Darmstadt Electron Linear Accelerator (S-DALINAC) of TU Darmstadt.

A read-out system for a beam monitoring and diagnostics system is currently under development. It is based on the already well established TRB3 platform, which can provide FPGA based signal discriminators and high precision FPGA-TDCs with on-line monitoring capabilities. In this contribution the concept and the performance of a prototype beam monitoring system will be discussed. Furthermore the preparatory work, with particular focus on the beam-line simulations, for a multipurpose beam detector test set-up at the S-DALINAC will be addressed.
